I don't understand how he can control the balk at 19 pounds. I've got racquets strung at 55 with poly and there is a noticeable loss of control as it loses tension.

Me neither. When I got back into tennis 7 or 8 years ago, I started in the mid to high 50’s. It took me a good 5 years of gradually adjusting downward to be able to play in the mid to high 40’s where I am now.

He’s always been a guy that I’ve watched and thought, “how the hell does he hit the ball so hard with basically a half swing?”… well I guess we know how. But to control it that well is crazy. His hand skill and feel are off the charts.

Found this from 2018 and now I’m curious what tension Kukushkin uses.
